CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 417,831 filed Dec. 11, 1964, now US. Pat. No. 3,377,336 issued Apr. 9, 1968, which application Ser. No. 417,831 is, in turn, a continuation in part of application Ser. No. 171,269 filed Feb. 5, 1962, now abandoned.

The present invention relates to novel and valuable dyestuffs; more particularly it relates to dyestuffs of the general formula halogen In this formula F denotes the radical of an organic dyestuff, A means a fiveor six-membered isocyclic or heterocyclic ring, X denotes hydrogen or an organic substituent, Y means hydrogen, halogen or an organic radical, halogen means a halogen atom, m a whole number and n a whole number from 1 to 3.

It is an object of this invention to provide new valuable dyest-uffs and processes for their manufacture; another object is the provision of new fibre reactive dyestuffs which are particularly useful for the dyeing and printing of cellulose-containing textile materials. A further object is the provision of new dyestuffs which exhibit outstanding wet fastness properties when dyes or printed on OH-group containing materials according to methods known for fibre reactive dyestuffs. Still another object is the provision of a method for dyeing textile 3,527,760 Patented Sept. 8, 1970 materials, particularly cellulose-containing textile fibres with the novel fibre reactive dyestuffs. It is also an object of the invention to provide textile materials, particularly cellulose-containing fibres which are dyed and printed very fast to wet processing and which possess excellent general fastness properties. Other objects will become evident from the following description.

The dyestuffs of formula I may belong to a great variety of classes, for example to the series of metal-free or metal-containing monoor polyazo dyestuffs, metal-free or metal-containing azaporphine dyestuffs, preferably phthalocyanine dyestuffs, anthraquinone, nitro, oxazine, dioxazine, triphenylmethane, azornethine, benzanthrone and dibenzanthrone dyestuffs as well as polycyclic condensation compounds of the latter.

In the dyestuffs of the general Formula I the radical k1, ,ha1ogen l,

can be linked with the dyestuff molecules either directly or via optional bridge members. As bridge members there are to be mentioned for example sulfonamide, sulfonylamino, carbonamide, carbonylamino, alkylene, aralkylene, arylene, amino, alkyleneamino, aralkyleneamino, aryleneamino groups, amino groups which may be substituted by alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or acyl groups, bisacyl imide groups such as bis-sulfonylamide groups and sulfonyl-carboxylimide or sulfonyl-triazinyl or -pyrimidinyl groups, further urea and urethane groupings, heterocyclic ring systems such as triazinylamino and pyrimidinylamino radicals which may also exhibit reactive halogen atoms, as well as oxygen and sulfur atoms and the azo groupmg.

The bridge member may connect the radical F with the ring system A either via two or via three linking positions whereby in the latter case, for instance a 5- or 6- membered ring which is condensed with the nucleus A and which contains exchangeable halogen atoms (e.g. a compound of Formula IV) may be reacted with aminogroup-containing dyestuffs.

As substituents X there are to be considered inter alia: optionally substituted alkyl, aralkyl and aryl radicals, sulfonic acid, carboxylic acid, halogen substituents, such as chlorine and bromine substituents, further nitro, hydroxy, alkoxy, cyano, sulfone and optionally substituted sulfonamide groups, acid ester groupings such as sulfonic acid and carboxylic acid ester groups and the like. Among the halogen substituents in the pyrazine radical, chlorine and bromine substituents are of special interest. In the case Where Y represents an organic radical, the latter may be of any desired type, for example an optionally substituted alkyl group, an alkylamino-, aralkylamino-, arylaminoor acylamino group, an alkylor aryl-sulfonyl-amino group, further radicals of aliphatic and aromatic hydroxy or mercapto compounds. Of course, Y may also stand for the radical of a coloured component, that is to say of any desired dyestuff.

The new dyestuffs of the Formula I may be watersolnble or also barely or even insoluble in water, depending on the type of their substituents. The radical F may contain the substituents customary for the dyestuffs present in each case, such as sulfonic acid, carboxylic acid, optionally substituted sulfonamide, sulfone, alkylamino, aralkylamino, arylamino, acylamino, nitro, cyano, halogeno, hydroxy, alkoxy, azo groupings and the like. The dyestuffs may moreover contain further groupings capable of fixation such as monoor di-halotri- J azinylamino, mono-, dior trihalopyrimidinylamino, esterified sulfonic acid hydroxyalkylamide and esterified hydroxy alkylsulfone groups, vinyl sulfone, sulfofluoride, haloalkylamino and haloacylarnino, epoxide, urethane, unsaturated haloalkylurethane, isocyanate, isothiocyanate groups and the like.

The new dyestuffs can be built up according to a variety of principles of preparation. For example, dyestuffs or dyestuff intermediates containing amino or amide groups and having a reactive hydrogen atom at the amine or amide nitrogen, can be reacted with compounds of the general Formula II which contain a reactive grouping, for example a carboxylic acid halide, sulfonic acid halide or isocyanate grouping, in the or 6-membered aromatic or heterocyclic nucleas A, and if dyestuff intermediates are used, the latter can be converted in a suitable manner into the desired final dyestuffs. In the opposite case, dyestuffs or dyestuff intermediates which contain reactive groupings, for example in the form of sulfonic acid halide, carboxylic acid halide, urethane, ester, haloalkyl and similar groupings, can be reacted with those compounds of the Formula II which contain in the aromatic or heterocyclic nucleus A an amino or amide group with replaceable hydrogen and, insofar as dyestuff intermediates are used, the latter can again be converted into the desired final dyestucs. In the case of production of azo group-containing dyestuffs, it is also possible to use such compounds of the general Formula II which are substituted in the nucleus A by a diazotizable amino group, to diazotize these components and to couple them in conventional manner with any desired coupling component and using them in this way for building up monoor polyazo dyestuffs.

When principles other than those described above are applied, for example with the formation of oxygen, sulfur or acid ester groupings, a number of further dyestucs of the general Formula I are obtained according to equally well-known methods. Dyestuffs in which the radical of the Formula II is directly linked with F can be built up in the series of azo compounds for example by diazotizing an aminoaryl compound which contains the aryl nucleus directly linked With the 5- or 6-membered nucleus A of the compound of the general Formula II via a carbon-carbon bond, and possibly coupling with azo components.

Depending upon the number of appropriate groupings in the dyestuff radical or dyestuff intermediates to be considered for the conversion, one or more groupings of the general Formula II can be incorporated in the dyestuffs. In the majority of cases, the number m will not exceed 4, but it is also possible to synthesize dyestuffs with more than 4, for example with up to 8 groupings of the Formula II, especially those of high molecular structure.

Some of the intermediate products of the Formula II are known from literature (cf. e.g. Angewandte Chemie [1960], 72, page 973). From these some of the products suitable for the preparation of the final dyestuffs or dyestuff intermediates can be synthesized by subsequent introduction of the appropriate groupings, for example by sulfochlorination. In general, it is however advantageous to introduce the desired groups, for example caroxylic acid or carboxylic acid chloride, nitro, amino, amido or acylamino groups, into the nucleus A of the o-arylene-diamino compound already before the ring closure to form the pyrazine ring.

In this case, the process starts, for example, from a 1,2- diamino -benzoic, -sulfonic acid or a triaminobenzene compound (with at least two o-positioned amino groups) or from a derivative which is acylated or substituted at an amino group which shall not take part in ring closure, this compound is reacted with oxalic acid with the formation of quinoxaline ring and the free hydroxy groups are converted into halogen substituents, if desired after halogen halogen (III) one of the two halogen substituents in the pyrazine ring can be converted into the radical of an organic compound by reacting it for example with aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic amino, hydroxy or mercapto compounds.

Among the great number of dyestuffs obtainable according to this process those products are especially easily obtained which are derived from amino group-containing azo dyestuffs of the benzene-azo-benzene, benzene-azonaphthalene, naphthalene-azo-naphthalene, benzene-azoaminopyrazole and -pyrazolone series and of the heteroazo-aryl series and the aminoanthraquinone series with nuclear-positioned and/ or externally linked amino groups, by the reaction with compounds of the Formula II which contain in the 5- or 6-membered nucleus A a reactive grouping, for example, a carboxylic acid chloride, sulfonic acid chloride, isocyanate, urethane, halotriazinylamino, halopyrimidinylamino or also a dichloro-quinoxalinoyl or dichloroquinoxalinoyl-methylene group. Likewise, an amino group-containing dyestuff or dyestuff intermediate can be combined in a simple manner with a dichloroquinoxaline containing an amino group in the nucleus A, by means of polyfunctional acylating agents, for example by reacting the amino group-containing starting components with phosgene, aliphatic or aromatic dicarboxylic acid halides, cyanuric halides or di-, trior tetra-halopyrimidine.

A special case of linking the radical of the Formula II with the dyestuff is attained by starting from a dihaloquinoxaline derivative with a condensed dihalo-pyrazine ring, having for example the formula and condensing in this compound at least one of the reactive halogen atoms with an amino group-containing dyestuff or dyestuff intermediate.

It will be understood that a great number of other starting components can be used in the preparation of the novel dyestuffs.

The new dyestuffs are valuable products which are excellently suitable for various purposes of application. As water-soluble compounds they are of special interest for the dyeing of nitrogen-containing and hydroxyl groupcontaining textile materials, especially of native and regenerated cellulose, wool, silk, synthetic polyamide and polyurethane fibres. On account of the reactive halogen substituents in the pyrazine radical, the products are particularly suitable as reactive dyestuffs for the dyeing of cellulose materials according to the techniques known for this purpose.

For the dyeing of natural and regenerated cellulose the dyestuffs are preferably used in an aqueous solution which may be treated with substances having an alkaline reaction such as alkali metal hydroxide or alkali metal carbonate or with compounds convertible into substances of alkaline reaction such as alkali metal bicarbonate. Further auxiliaries may be added to the solution but they should not react with the dyestulfs in an undesirable manner. Additives of this kind are for example surfaceactive substances such as alkyl sulfates, substances preventing migration of the dyestutf, dyeing adjuvants such as urea which is to improve the solubility and fixation of the dyestutf, or inert thickening agents such as oil-in- Water emulsions, tragacanth, starch, alginate or methyl cellulose.

The solutions or pastes thus preparedare applied to the material to be colored, for example by padding on the foulard (short bath) or by printing, and subsequently heated to an elevated temperature, preferably 40-150 C., for some time. Heating can be eifected in the hot flue, in a steaming apparatus, on heated rollers or by introduction into heated concentrated salt baths.

When using a padding or dyeing liquor without alkali the colored dry material is subsequently passed through an alkaline solution to which sodium chloride or Glaubers salt are added. The addition of salt prevents migration of the dyestuif from the fibre.

The material to be dyed can also be pre-treated with one of the aforesaid acid-binding agents, subsequently treated with a solution or paste of the dyestuif and, finally, fixed at an elevated temperature as described above.

In the so-called cold pad batch process, the subsequent heating of the padded fabric can be dispensed with by storing the fabric at room temperature for 4-20 hours. In this process sodium carbonate solution is preferably used as alkali.

For dyeing from a long liquor, the material is introduced into an aqueous solution of the dyestuif (goodsto-liquor ratio 1:5 to 1:40) at room temperature and dyed, if desired while raising the temperature up to 85 C. for 40-90 minutes with the addition in portions of salt, for example sodium sulfate, and subsequently of alkaline substances, for example sodium phosphates, sodium carbonate or alkalies.

After fixation the dyed material is rinsed hot and, if required, finally soaped, thereby removing insufficiently fixed dyestuff residues. Dyeing of excellent fastness to wet processing are thus obtained.

For printing materials containing hydroxyl groups, a printing paste is used consisting of the dyestuif solution, a thickening agent, such as sodium alginate, and a compound having alkaline reaction or dissociating alkali on heating, such as sodium carbonate, sodium phosphate, potassium carbonate, potassium acetate or sodium and potassium bicarbonate, the printed material is rinsed and, if desired, finally soaped.

When the dyestuffs, in particular azo dyestuffs, contain groupings forming metal complexes, the fastness properties of the dyeings and prints can in many cases be improved by an after-treatment with metal-yielding agents such as copper salts, for example copper sulfate; chromium, cobalt and nickel salts such as chromium acetate, cobalt sulfate or nickel sulfate.

Textile materials containing amide groups such as Wool, silk, synthetic polyamide and polyurethane fibres are in general dyed in the acidic to neutral range according to the dyeing methods conventionally used for this purpose whereby a final increase of the pH value of the dyebath to, for example pH 6.5 to 8.5 is sometimes of advantage.

The dyestuffs are applied to a synthetic polyamide fabric, for example, as solutions or, preferably, in dispersed form and subsequently after-treated together with acid-binding agents in preferably small amounts, such as sodium carbonate. Especially advantageous results are achieved with dyestuffs which are insoluble or barely soluble in water. These are worked up according to conventional techniques and with the addition of known auxiliaries into a dyestutf dispersion and used as such in the dyeor padding-liquor or in a printing paste. Auxiliaries suitable for this application are inter alia COITlr pounds preventing the migration of the dyestuif on the fibre such as cellulose ether, alkali metal chlorides and sulfates; wetting agents such as condensation products from ethylene oxide and fatty alcohols or phenols, sulfonated fatty alcohols, solvents such as thiodiglycol; further thickeners such as starch, tragacanth, alginate thickening, gum arabic etc.

After-treatment of the dyeings impregnations and prints obtained on polyamide fibre fabrics is preferably carried out at a temperature of 50-l10 C. for 560 minutes. In the case Where the dyestuffs employed contain groupings forming metal complexes, the fastness properties of the dyeings will sometimes be improved by treating the dyeings with metal-yielding agents such as copper salts, for example copper sulfate, or chromium, cobalt and nickel salts such as chromium acetate, cobalt sulfate or nickel sulfate.

The dyeings and prints obtainable with the new dyestuffs on cellulosic material are, in general, distinguished by good to very good fastness properties, especially by excellent fastness to wet processing, such as to washing to boiling soda and furthermore to water, to rubbing and brushing, to light and in some instances to chlorine and to peroxide. The dyeings and prints on woollen fabrics possess very good fastness to Washing, milling, sea-water, hot Water and to light. Dyeings and prints on synthetic polyamide fabrics are distinguished by very good fastness to water, washing and light whereas dyeings and prints on synthetic polyester materials, particularly on polyethylene terephthalate, exhibit good fastness to sublimation, to washing and to light.

The following examples are given for the purpose of illustrating the invention, the parts being parts by Weight if not otherwise stated.

EXAMPLE 1 28 parts by volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid are added to a solution of 34.7 parts of Z-aminonaphathalene 4,8-disulphonic acid sodium salt and 7 parts of sodium nitrite in 300 parts of water while cooling with ice, and the mixture is stirred at 0-10 C. for /2 hour. After removal of excess nitrous acid, 10.7 parts of 3- aminotoluene dissolved in 10 parts by volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 150 parts of water are ,added and coupling is completed by adjusting the hydrochloric acid solution to pH 35. The resultant aminoazo dyestuff is salted out, filtered off with suction, washed and then re-dissolved in 700 parts of water at pH 7 with the addition of sodium hydroxide solution. The aqueous solution is then treated with 26.5 parts of 2,3 dichloroquinoxaline 6 carboxylic acid chloride (M.P. 116 C., B.P. 144 C./0.05 mm. Hg) dissolved in 100 parts of benzene and vigorously stirred. By the reaction now setting in the mixture warms up to 35-40 C.; the hydrochloric acid set free is neutralised with sodium carbonate solution until a free amino group can no longer be de tected. The resulting dyestuff of the formula is salted out with parts of sodium chloride, pressed off, washed and dried at 40-50 C. under vacuum. It is a yellow powder which dissolves in water with a yellow colour.

The suspension is stirred at room temperature for chloride and using, instead of 50 parts of the sodium salt 24 hours and a constant pH of 8.5 is maintained by the of 1,3-diaminobenzene-4-sulphonic acid, 90 parts of the continuous addition of sodium carbonate. The resulting sodium salt of 4,4'-diamino diphenyl- 2,2 -disulphonic 13 acid or 90 parts of the sodium salt of 4,4'-diamino-sti1- bene-2,2-disulphonic acid, reactive dyestufiis are also obtained which dye cellulose materials according to one of the processes described above in clear blue shades fast to wet processing, rubbing and light.

When starting from 4',4,4',4" -tetraphenyl Cuphthalocyanine, there is obtained, after sulphochlorination and reaction with 1,3-phenyldiamine-4-sulphonic acid and acylation with 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride, a reactive dyestuff which dyes cellulose materials in the presence of acid-binding agents in clear green shades fast to wet processing and light.

EXAMPLE 65 71 parts of the amino-anthraquinone dyestuif obtained by reaction of 1-amino-4-bromo-anthraquinone 2 sulphonic acid with an excess of 4,4-diamino-diphenyl-2,2'- disulphonic acid are dissolved in 700 parts of water, 27 parts of finely powdered 2,3-dich1oroquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride are introduced at 20-30 C. with good stirring and a pH of 6-7 is maintained by the continuous addition of sodium carbonate solution. When amino groups can no longer by detected, the dyestufi of the formula SO3Na l l N SOaNa 1 ll 1 I NaOaS is salted out, washed and dried under vacuum at 40 C. The dyestuff dyes cotton and regenerated cellulose according to one of the processes indicated above in blue shades fast to wet processing, rubbing and light.

When proceeding as indicated in Example 65, but using, instead of the starting dyestuif there employed, equivalent amounts of one of the following derivatives of 1-amino- 4-(amino-arylamino) anthraquinone 2 sulphonic acid, similar dyestuffs are obtained whose blue dyeings exhibit fastness properties similar to those of the dyestufl obtained above: 1-amino-4-(4-amino-2'-sulphophenylamino)-anthraquinone-2-sulphonic acid, 1-amino-4-(4-aminophenylamino) anthraquinone 2,6 disulphonic acid, isomer mixture of 1-amino-4-(4-aminophenylamino)- anthraquinone-2,5- and 2,8-disulphonic acid, isomer mixture of 1-amino-4-(4'-amino-2'-sulphophenylamino)-anthraquinone-2,4- and -2,8-disulphonic acid, isomer mixture of 1-amino-4(3-aminophenylamino)-anthraquinone- 2,5- and -2,8-disulphonic acid, l-amino 4 (3' aminophenylamino)-anthraquinone2,6-disulphonic acid, l-amino-4-(3-amino-4'-sulphophenyl-amino) anthraquinone- Z-sulphonic acid. With 1-amino-4-(4'-[4"-amino-2"-sulphophenyl1amino phenyl) anthraquinone 2,6 disulphonic acid there are obtained reactive dyestuffs dyeing bluish grey shades.

EXAMPLE 66 EXAMPLE 67 Into a solution of 36.5 parts of the sodium salt of 1- amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulphonic acid in 200 parts of water, 23 parts of finely powered 3- or 2-monochloroquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride of B.P. 138- 139 C./0.28 mm. Hg are introduced with good stirring and the mixture is stirred at 40 C. while continuously neutralising the hydrochloric acid set free by maintaining a pH value of the mixture of 3-6; stirring is continued until free amino groups can no longer be detected, which takes about 15-20 minutes. The clear solution of the dyestuff intermediate thus obtained is coupled, with the addition of 12 parts of sodium carbonate dissolved in parts of water at 5-10 C. and a pH of 6.5-7.5, with 17.5 parts of diazotized 2-aminobenzene-sulphonic acid in 200 parts of Water. The resultant red dyestuff has partly crystallised and is separated by the addition of 50 parts of sodium chloride. After filtering oif with suction, washing with a dilute sodium hydrochloride solution and drying at 40-50" C. under vacuum, the dyestuff is obtained in form of a powder easily dissolving in water with a red colour and having the formula N SOsNa HO NH0 oo1 N=N \N/ NaOaS SOaNa In this dyestuif as well as in the halogenoquinoxaline starting component the position of the chlorine atom could not exactly be determined.

A cotton fabric is impregnated with a solution of 20- 25 C. containing per litre of liquor 25 g. of the above dyestutf and 0.5 g. of a non-ionogenic wetting agent (e.g. a polyoxyethylated oleyl alcohol), 150 g. of urea and 20 g. of sodium carbonate. Subsequently the fabric is squeezed off between two rubber rollers to a moisture content of about 100%. After intermediate drying at 50- 60 C., the material is heated to 140 C. for 10 minutes,

the dyeing thus obtained thoroughly rinsed with hot water and treated at the boiling point for 20 minutes 'with a solution containing 5 g. of Marseille soap and 2 g. of sodium carbonate per litre. After rinsing and drying, a brilliant red dyeing is obtained having very good fastness to wet processing, rubbing and light.

According to one of the other dyeing or printing processes described in Examples 1 to 3, 18 and 30, clear red shades of good fastness properties are likewise obtained on materials of cellulose or synthetic polyamides.

The 3- or 2-chloroquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride used in this example is obtained in the following way:

1 mol of 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid and 1 mol of monochloracetic acid are boiled under reflux in a weakly ammoniacal aqueous solution for one hour. The clear solu tion is rendered strongly alkaline with sodium hydroxide solution, treated with 1.2 mol of hydrogen peroxide at room temperature and stirred for another hour at 70 C. The 2- or 3-rnonohydroxy-quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid is isolated by acidification, dried and boiled under reflux with 6 moles of thionyl chloride and some dimethyl formamide until hydrogen chloride no longer evolves. After distilling off the excess thionyl chloride the residual 2- or 3-monochloro-quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride is distilled in a high vacuum.

EXAMPLE 68 When proceeding as indicated in Example 18 but adding to the aqueous suspension of the dyestuff intermediate obtained from l-amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid and 2,3-dichloro-quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride after the suspension was made up with water to 400 parts, 11.5 parts of the monosodium salt of thioglycolic acid dissolved in 50 parts of water and neutralising the hydrochloric acid liberated at 45 C. by means of soda solution in order to keep the pH value of the mixture at 5 to 7, a thinly liquid suspension of a monochloro quinoxaline derivative is obtained after 3 hours reaction.

15 The product thus obtained is coupled with 17.5 parts of diazotized o-sulfanilic acid in the presence of 12 parts of soda, the dyestuff of the following constitution thus being obtainable:

N SOaNa on NH-OC- o1 -N=N S-CH2-COON3 mots SOaHa It can be used for printing of cellulosic material in the presence of sodium bicarbonate or dyeing of cellulosic materials from a long bath at 80 C. in the presence of soda. Clear red shades are obtained which possess good wet fastness properties and good fastness to rubbing and to light.

EXAMPLE 69 6.2 parts of 2,3-dichloro-6-amino-quinoxaline are stirred in 30 parts by volume of glacial acetic acid and then treated with 8 parts by volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid, 100 parts of ice and 2 parts of sodium nitrite. After stirring at -5 C. for /2 hour, the amine has dissolved and diazotization is completed. The excess nitrous acid is removed and a solution of 10 parts of the sodium salt of l-(2,5'-dichloro-4-sulfophenyl)-3-methyl-pyrazolone-() in 100 parts of water is added. After neutralisation with concentrated sodium hydroxide solution to pH 4 in a stirrer with good ice-cooling, the coupling is completed. The precipitated dyestuff of the formula SOsH is filtered off, washed and dried at 45 C. under vacuum. The dyestuff dyes cellulose materials according to the process described in Example 3 in reddish yellow shades. fast to light and wet processing.

EXAMPLE 70 27.5 parts of Z-methylamino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-7 sulphonic acid sodium salt are dissolved in 150 parts of water, treated with 26.5 parts of finely powdered 2,3-dichloro-quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride and stirred at 40 C. for /2 hour while continuously neutralising the hydrochloric acid formed by adjusting the pH to 4-6 with a total of 34 parts by volume of a 16% sodium carbonate solution. Acylation is completed already after 15 minutes, the pH is 6 and does not change any more.

By the addition of 200 parts of water, the partially crystallised reaction product is dissolved at C. 30 parts of sodium bicarbonate are then added and a diazo suspension from 34 parts of the disodium salt of Z-aminonaphthalene-1,7-disulphonic acid in 200 parts of water is added dropwise at 40 C. within 15 minutes. The reactive dyestutf immediately formed and having the formula SOaNa is after-stirred for an hour and then completely separated by the addition of parts of sodium chloride, filtered off, washed with a dilute sodium chloride solution and dried under vacuum at 45 C. The dyestuif dyes cellulose materials according to the processes described above in reddish orange shades of very good fastness to wet processing and good fastness to chlorine.

If in this example instead of 26.5 parts of 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride equivalent amounts of 2,3oibromoquinoxaline-G-carboxylic acid bromide or 2 or 3-monobromoquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid bromide are used and the method of preparation is otherwise carried out as indicated above an orange reactive dyestuif is obtainable which likewise dyes cotton and regenerated cellulose orange shades of dyeing properties similar to those obtainable with the corresponding 2,3-dichloro derivative.

In a similar manner orange to red reactive dyestuffs are obtained by acylation of the aminonaphthol-sulphonic acids listed in the following table with 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline-fi-carboxylic acid chloride and coupling of the resultant acylamino-naphthol-sulphonic acids with the diazo components mentioned in column 2.

EXAMPLE 272 A solution of 107 parts of a mixture from equal molecular parts of copper phthalocyanine-(3,3,3)-tri-sulfonic acid-mono-(m-amino-p-sulfophenyl) amide and copper phthalocyanine-(3,3',3")-trisulf0nic acid-di-(mamino-p-sulfophenyl)-amide are made up with water to a volume of 1.3 l. and adjusted to pH 6; into this solution 40 parts of finely powdered 2,3-dichloro-quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride are introduced at 20 to 25 C. The temperature is increased, while stirring, for about 5 to 10 C. each hour and finally kept at 45 to 50 C. for several hours. At the same time the pH of the reaction mixture is kept at about 6.1 to 6.9 by adding dropwise 3 11 sodium hydroxide solution. Stirring and adjusting of the pH is continued until, on an average, each dyestufi molecule is provided with at least one dichloroquinoxaline-carboxylic acid amide residue. The final step of the reaction can easily be detected from the amount of soda-lye consumed and from determination of free amino groups.

The 2,3-dichloro-quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid can likewise be used in form of its solution in acetone.

When the reaction has finished the dyestufi solution is heated to C. whereupon non-reacted 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride is saponified; the hydrolised product can be separated by filtration or in other separating means. The desired dyestufi is precipitated from the filtered dyestufr' solution by adding parts of common salt. It is then filtered with suction and dried in a vacuum or at atmospheric pressure at about 50 C. One obtains to 200 g. of a product which still contains about 30% common salt. The salt can be removed by stirring the cooled dyestuff with 250 parts of water and again filtering it.

The dyestuff thus obtainable dyes cellulosic materials, particularly textiles of cotton and regenerated cellulose from a long bath in the presence of soda at 40 to 80 C.,

phthalocyanine-trisulfonic acid chloride and simultaneously catalysing the condensation reaction with 3 mols of pyridine, whereupon the aforementioned mixture of the copper phthalocyanine sulfonamides is formed.

Similar reactive dyestuffs are obtainable if as a starting material a mixture is used which contains the two different copper phthalocyanine sulfonamide components in the ratio of 4: 1. Such a mixture can be prepared from the corresponding copper phthalocyanine trisulfonic acid chloride and 2 mols of 2,4-diaminobenzene-sulfonic acid.

Instead of the given starting materials other starting compounds may be used such as those containing nickel as central atom instead of copper or the sulfonamidcs obtained by the aforementioned processes from copper phthalocyanine-4-trisulfonic acid-chloride or from phthalocyanine-3,4',4",4"'-tetrasulfonic acid chloride or from phthalocyanine-4-tetrasulfonic acid chloride; similar dyes are also obtainable if as arylene diamine sulfonic acid toluylene-diamine-(2,4)-sulfonic acid-(5),4,4' diaminodibenzyl-disulfonic acid-(2,2), naphthylene diamine- (1,5)-disulfonic acid-(3,7) are employed. All those starting products and the methods for their preparation are known from literature. The condensation with 2,3 dichloro-quinoxaline 6 carboxylic acid chloride follows the above prescription.

Green reactive dyestuffs can be obtained if 2,3-dichl0roquinoxaline 6 carboxylic acid chlorine is condensed with appropriate copper and nickel phthalocyanine intermediates such as the products obtained by polysulfochlorination of 3-tetra-(p-tolyl-mercapto)-copper phthalocyanine by means of chlorosulfonic acid, with 1,3- phenylene diamine 4 sulfonic acid or 1,4-phenylenediamine 3 sulfonic acid in such a ratio that about 1 to 2 sulfochloride groups are to react with 1 mol of the phenylene diamine compound, and finally hydrolising the remaining sulfochloride groups. In a similar manner simple or mixed amino and sulfo group-containing arylation or alkylation products of trior tetra-mercapto copper or nickel phthalocyanine can be acylated at the amino groups with 2,3-dichloro quinoxaline 6 carboxylic acid chloride thus yielding valuable green reactive dyestuffs.

EXAMPLE 273 SOaH N I on i nr-po-onz-r r-oo c1 di Hols SOaH is obtained. It dyes cellulosic fibres, synthetic polyaniides and wool according to the preceding instructions bluish red shades of good fastness to Wet processing, to rubbing and to light.

EXAMPLE 274 71.2 parts of a dyestuff which was obtained by coupling tetrazotised 4,4'-diamino-3,3' dimethyl-diphenyl 6,6- disulfonic acid on the one side with l-hydroxynaphthalene 4 sulfonic acid and on the other side with phenol are dissolved at pH 7 in 200 to 300 parts of water and treated with 30 parts of finely powdered 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline-G-sulfonic acid chloride. The mixture is thoroughly agitated and the pH value kept at 9 to 7by continuous addition of a total of 5.5 parts of soda. If a sample of the dyestufi solution shows no longer a strong color change when soda solution and acetic acid is added, the formed reactive dyestufi of the formula SOsH is salted out, filtered and dried in a vacuum at 40 to 50 C. The dyestuff dyes wool from weakly acid to neutral bath scarlet shades which are fast to wet processing and to light.
